If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

I have a terrible affliction (hugs anyone?): I can't listen to music while having sex. I have an almost OCD tendency to concentrate on the different instrumental parts of the music, instead of the very interesting parts of my partner. It is a curse, really. I share this affliction. My attention is ...

Do you have any specific grievances? Because right now it sounds as if you agree with the general sentiments stated, but don't think they were stated... sensitively enough? With enough consideration for the way fat people might feel? I'm not sure exactly. My main objection is that the discussion is...

That all depends on what you think the point of the conversation was. The bulk of the members here wanted to talk about SJW bullshit. You want to talk about how fat people are shamed in our society. I actually agree with you that it's a problem, but so is being delusional about your weight and its ...

That's interesting. I was actually diagnosed with PTSD by an MD psychiatrist after years of being bounced between therapists etc. Mine developed from being the victim of quite serious (i.e. hospital-requiring) violence multiple times. I still wouldn't say all PTSD is exactly the same, and that mine...

What's the URL to that JREF thread? I refuse to clicky the linky for anything skepchicky.

This is the page where Squeegee mentions it. There's a discussion about whether or not Watson had ever previously mentioned the faces thing, or whether it had only become a thing after elevatorgate.

Now that you've all had a good time with Fat Shaming, I'd just like to note that the discussion has missed the point grandly. Fat Acceptance (echoing the Serenity Prayer) should be about accepting the parts of yourself you can't change, owning the decisions you make about the parts you can, and dis...

I was reading through the epic JREF thread on A+ and Squeegee Beckenheim pointed out that Rebecca Watson had mentioned she had trouble remembering faces as far back as 2007 . That makes her inability to identify elevatorgate in a photo (assuming he was even in the photo, which is already questionabl...

Reggie has no excuse regarding alcohol - she says he didn't drink. The way she described it I first thought Reggie was being selfish and refusing to use a condom because it feels better without. In which case he would have been an asshole and she was right to throw him out. As the story progressed,...

Speaking of unfunny, reGreta has a post up about that evil rapey song "Baby it's cold outside". Someone made a very lame "parody" in typical SJW fashion Baby It's Consensual Outside . Even the name isn't funny - they replace "cold" with "consensual"? WTF? How does that even work? I haven't watched ...

That was painfully unfunny. I gave up at the "I'm not going to have your baby. Fuck you" response to a man for having (admittedly irrational) concerns about an unwanted pregnancy. This woman really could find offense in anything. Irrational? Clearly in terms of risk analysis he was maybe overestima...

I've heard a lot of jokes here to the effect of "Watson's presentations are so shitty, she must have scribbled something down on the back of a cocktail napkin five minutes before showtime." Are we certain the lack of quality is a result of her not putting in the necessary time though? She seems to t...

Ahhhh.....You are still in your formative stages young padawan. Stick around here long enough and soon you won't be bothered whether somebody's trolling or not; your only response to the SJW window-lickers will be unbridled mockery.

Yes, it does sound a bit like a conspiracy theorist. As far as I can tell, Carrier's academic output is not really in the realms of conspiracy theory, he's just regarded as a hothead by other academics. This means that he has no hope of tenure (which is usually achieved by sucking up to the importa...

Possibly this old news, but it's the first time I've heard of it. In a JREF thread, Mark Corrigan says that the A+ mod Cesspolk is not actually any atheist .

Yes, kittens knead their mothers to stimulate them to lactate. I get it every morning too, until I get up to get cat food. Unfortunately, I can't get it done to my back, where it would be a pleasant massage, but only to my chest and stomach. Why won't cats ask for my enthusiastic consent? Is every ...

From what research I have been able to dig up, the fetus is apparently sedated while in the womb and it cannot feel a thing until the umbilical cord is cut and it actually breathes in air. http://www.cell.com/current-biology/abstract/S0960-9822%2811%2900885-2#Summary http://www.rcog.org.uk/fetal-aw...

Alex has turned his blog into a movie review site. Sounds a positive move until you realise the point of his Hunger Games missive is to bemoan the apparent fact that "Finnick" simply wasn't gay enough. Personally I thought he was sufficiently camp. First world problems indeed. The glaring problem w...

ogvorbis did mention in the original thread that he had seen a psychiatrist who had not diagnosed him with PTSD but rather "PTSD like symptoms" (though, amusingly enough, he continues to insist he does have PTSD).

"Cis" is well on its way to join "faggot" "nigger" and "kike" in the world of bigoted slurs you should be ashamed to say in public.

How could you do damage to the community when you condemn what happened to you, including your part in it, every chance you get?

Thanks for your input Richard ;) but that's not very relevant here. Any test has a risk of a false positive, but it would be especially low for sequencing. And as I said, the results from a personal genetic test would be confirmed by additional testing before undergoing "prophylactic surgery, chemo...

I'm not sure if their complaint actually makes sense: the chance of "false positives" would be very low, and any competent physician would do additional testing to confirm the results before any drastic actions, like lopping the patient's tits off. Even a low chance of false positives can yield res...

Just skimmed Alex Gabriel's response to Pat Condell's "How Gay is Islam?" video. I'm not sure why this required so many words.

As someone who drinks a lot . I tend to agree. I once heard someone say you weren't an alcoholic until you started waking up and regretting the things you did while drunk.

There's a lot of drunk shaming on here, check your sober privilege.
